Oboz Ousel Low Bdry Hiking Shoes - Brown - UK 7

The Oboz Ousel Low Bdry Hiking Shoes are best suited for light to moderate hiking on well-maintained trails. For rugged terrain or long-distance backpacking, consider Oboz models with higher ankle support.

Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth or a specialized nubuck cleaner. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

LWG (Leather Working Group) Gold Certified means the leather used has been produced in a tannery that meets high environmental and sustainability standards.

While they have breathable mesh, they are designed with waterproofing as a primary feature, which can sometimes reduce overall ventilation compared to non-waterproof shoes. They are more ideal for moderate or wet conditions.

A single Oboz Ousel shoe weighs approximately 12.3 oz / 349 g.

Condition the leather every few months, or whenever it appears dry, especially after cleaning or exposure to harsh elements, to maintain its flexibility and prevent cracking.

Ensure the shoe's tongue is properly aligned to prevent water ingress. Check for any tears or damage to the B-DRY membrane. Make sure laces are tied to keep the tongue properly seated.

Leather materials often require a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using a leather conditioner to soften the material.

Try double-knotting the laces. Ensure the lace material has enough friction; worn-out laces may need replacement.

Ensure the breathable mesh tongue and upper are clean and free from debris. Avoid wearing thick, non-breathable socks.
